Holy Crap! If there was a Jesus, he must be doing double flips in his grave. But I guess we can't expect much less from the fundamentalist right.
Trying to get spiritual nourishment from a two thousand year old book is like trying to suck milk from the breast of a woman who has been dead that long.

Wow, :200:
that sign in the clip being held by some geezer saying "who would Jesus bomb"..... really? really?
Do these egits even have any idea what "their saviour" is all about?
Stuff like this is exactly what made me decide never participate in an organized religion not even for the social/business benefits. (like my folks did)
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Exactly. And it scares me that there are people out there who lap up this crap.

Technically, they aren't "praying for war." Instead they are asking God to take sides - much like the Westboro Baptists ask God to take the Iraqi side.

At the time Hagee was praying for war, the USA president
George Bush claimed Iraq had WMDs - which was proven 100% false.

So Hagee prayed for a war based on a lie. And what does God say about lies?
